Yes. The amount you receive in Social Security disability benefits is based on your earnings record, not on your state of residence. The amount you receive in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits, however, does depend in part on where you live. Some states supplement the SSI paid by the federal government. The monthly federal SSI benefit rate is currently $674 for an eligble individual and $1011 for an eligible couple. Texas does not provide a state supplement. Pennsylvania supplements only limited categorie of recipients. For a list of states that supplement the amount paid in SSI, see: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/statessi.html
